I have heard of paper tigers, but a cardboard tiger?
This story reminds me of those cardboard cutouts
you used to find at movie rental places.
Like Blockbuster.
Back in the last-century:

Cardboard Ayatollah Khomeini

The Atlantic reports that the Iranian military created three individual cardboard cut outs of Ayatollah Khomeini for the ceremony.

One giant cardboard cut out was carried from a sitting plane at Tehran Airport to mark the “return” of the Ayatollah to Iran after 14 years in exile. Two uniformed military men then carried the cardboard stand down the tarmac, allowing it to “inspect” a group of Iranian soldiers. The regiment of soldiers actually then salute the cardboard sign.

After the imaginary inspecting, a second cardboard cut out was then placed inside a car and driven away, presumably to retake its place as the leader of the Islamic Cardboard Republic of Iran.

All of this transpired while a third cardboard cut out of the Khomeini observed the proceedings from a distance.

Oh-kee. Three cardboard cutouts of the Ayatollah. Coming to a theater in 2012.

I say we do the same thing with our prior leaders.
Who is up for carrying around a cut-out of Ronald Reagan?

Hey Jihadis

So sorry this is not the site you were probably looking for. I have analytic software which lists who visits here by what search terms are used.

Still, make yourself at home. Please take a load off, provided it does not go boom. I find you guys somewhat distasteful, but I'll give you a pat on the back (if you are not wearing one of those special vests) for your equality in suicide operations.

It is refreshing to see that in this one action, you actually allow females to participate. How very early 20th century of you all. . .
